uHoopla Solution for Small Businesses

Small business colleagues can share documents, presentations, spreadsheets among each other securely and confidentially. Traveling salespeople can use uHoopla to make their data available to main office, access data from main office, and communicate using text messages with the main office. No need to install VPN services, or store documents in the cloud. The uHoopla channel publish/subscribe paradigm fits in nicely with business personnel hierarchies.

Colleagues can share the documents either by signing up as users of uHoopla or by authenticating with Google, Facebook, or Microsoft.

A Tale of Two Internets

Ninety-nine percent of us live on the wrong side of the one-way mirror. Scientific American has an interesting article on A Tale of Two Internets, where unseen hands curate our internet experience, and third parties determine the products and prices we see.

Lest we forget what we pay for ‘free’, fee-based software services help pay the software entrepreneurs who put tremendous effort to create and market it.

Where does the term REST come from?

REST stands for Representational State Transfer.

REST is an architectural style for designing interfaces for web based services.

A web client manipulates a resource’s state by sending a representation as part of an HTTP PUT or POST request, (DELETE operations don’t have a representation). In turn, the server manipulates client state by sending representations in response to client’s requests. This is where the term “Representational State Transfer” comes from.

uHoopla’s web interface is RESTful.
